WHAT in person
WHERE ALL OVER
WHEN day 7, evening -> night
NOTES it's just a mingle really

[ Maybe you're getting off work now, or maybe you're just heading there. Or maybe you don't even have a job? Either way, it's a nice quiet evening to be outside in Quiet Mounds. Out on the streets, there's no sound at all. No birds or crickets, no murmur of crowds, no traffic. Isn't it peaceful? ]

[...walks over to him with head and tail held high and gives him an affectionate hair snuffle before she takes the apple :9 pleased with his visit!!

he does feel a sort of steadying presence in her company; she's not really intentionally trying to use Empathy, but she's relaxed enough around him that she's not hiding that a big part of her life is being a sort of emotional heat sink]

[Obviously he's just calm because Yfandes is great. His body language is a lot looser and less self-conscious, leaning against the fence.]

I got some recs for you if you like this sort of thing but honestly should should experience these kinda tunes in their original cinematic environment.

[i mean that is in fact literally the reason so it's Fine. she comes to lean on the fence across from him; after a moment to digest that last, she nudges the phone in his direction.]

[Dave readily takes her phone and manages to pull up the fucking titantic trailer]

[YOU'VE NEVER SEEN A HORSE SO RIVETED TO A CELL PHONE

she has no clue what the fuck is happening there but that's clearly a LOVE STORy and then the BOAT STARTS SINKING and fuck?!

shoves him peremptorily with her nose when it ends, vibrating a bit; WAIT WHAT HAPPENED]

Ahaha, ok. Hold on&mdas;

[With some finaggling he manages to de-captchalouge his laptop, hook a hotspot up, and find a way to sit so he can just show her titantic]

[she lays down next to him; he can use her as a horse backrest if he wants. still HIGHLY RIVETED TO THE SCREEN and just seems to not be questioning the technological stuff she doesn't understand for now...

isn't this movie four hours long. oh my god]

[He does eventually settle against her.

Dave can and absolutely does sit through 3 hours and 15 minutes of Titanic with running commentary, mostly about romantic tropes and quadrant fluctuations and sick burns on dead actors]

—And it's fucking incredible to think that on Earth these Jack and Cal are considered to have this completely one-dimensional relationship but on Alternia this shit is fucking BALLADIC levels of nuance.

[I ASSUME THAT THIS HAS INVOLVED DAVE DRAWING DIAGRAMS ON THE GROUND. YFANDES IS PEERING AT THEM INTENTLY. touches her nose to the flushed quadrant in fascination and nods slightly. youve finally found someone who wants to listen to this as much as Karkat.]

[There is in fact a diagram.

Movie ending, MY HEART WILL GO ON starts playing.]

So on Earth this is considered a tragic love story due to class differences and the hubris of mankind but troll-wise the moral of the story is don't go on a cruise without a fucking auspistice.

[sorry, Yfandes is staring at the screen FUCKING DEVASTATED; NOSES TRAGICALLY AT THE ENDING CREDITS, AS IF SHE CAN MAKE THE YOUNG LOVERS RETURN TO HER EYEBALLS]

[Oh my god, this is the best. ]

Do you want to watch something else? Titanic was probably a little intense for a first foray into modern romance cinema.

[BOWS HER HEAD AND MAKES A THROATY SAD LITTLE NOISE which he can interpret as "yes" if he so desires ;~;]
